Qing Dynasty Button Charms & Pendants

Qing Dynasty dress and regalia was codified by the Qianlong Emperor in 1759. The ruling classes of the princes, noblemen, officials and mandarins all had to follow an elaborate system of dressing involving robes, hats, insignias and a host of other ornaments and accessories.

The decorative buttons used on these robes were designed with their own particular meaning, alluding to personal virtues or good fortune.

They have been re-cast in solid sterling silver and can be used as a charm, a pendant or a button.
